The poems of Anna Arkatova are for the most part marked by the stamp of spontaneity - sometimes captivatingly frank, sometimes naive, and sometimes turning out to be non-binding. The poem is entirely located in a monologous space, arguments about itself from inside and outside, attempts to judge what is happening in the world, in addition to the author’s consciousness, are practically absent or given ironically
